I'm on an ethnic foods kick right now. I had latke days ago for the first time, and am having knish for the first time right now. I can't expect too many more years on this granite planet, I figure, so I need to sample exotic foods while I have the chance.

bobbob (n.): pointless thread.
exy (v.) to exy the game ie play a really unsound opening and still manage to win.
buffalobill: a buffalobill ie to get yourself into such a tangle in an opening you're experimenting with (and know next to nothing about) that you contrive to lose against a patzer.
The last doesn't have much of a ring to it, but you get the idea.
Any more?
